This is fishy AF


What is so fishy about a car crashing that didn't have anyone behind the wheel? You sound about as dumb as the deceased. It's a vehicle, it requires an operator to drive the damn thing.

Yes I know it was supposed to be a vehicle that could drive itself. I stand by my original statement. Also, I would find all fault on the occupants of the vehicle. If you choose to be a guinea pig, that's on you.

Well, it certainly does with that attitude.

Yeah, probably hard to get a good grip when the steering wheel is in the way. Move to the passenger seat. Problem solved.

The report is the car was going excessively over the speed limit. Autopilot won't go 5 mph over the speed limit. If I had to guess these darwin award winners floored it and lost control and hit a tree. With no seat belt on they bounced all around the inside of the car.

Breaking news, make sure you stay behind the wheel in vehicles that can't drive themselves.

Seems like a very plausible reason for a car to crash... but I am no expert.

first responders had to use 30,000 gallons of water over four hours to put out the fire, as the Tesla’s battery kept reigniting. Authorities tried to contact Tesla for advice on putting out the fire;


I’ll give you a hint...not water.

Should have used sand.

Not according to Tesla. Lots of water is correct.

Somebody, anybody PLEASE take these driverless cars off the road. I am for advancements in technology but this is ridiculous. What if instead of plowing into a tree the thing had hit some family in another car.

As for the two killed in the Tesla? You should never get a car without a driver. It's unsafe. There I said it.
